About the race
The Course de la Cité-Limoilou is presented by Clinique dentaire Myriam Hébert and combines urban running with street arts and family activities. The event is presented as an urban and artistic gathering that includes live musical performances and street artists such as face painters and balloon sculptors. It offers several races and activities intended for participants of different ages.
The event includes the following distances:
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 5 km with stroller (separate ranking)
- 2 km
- 1.5 km
- 1 km
Courses run through Vieux-Limoilou, notably along 2e Avenue and 3e Avenue. Organizers removed single use cups from aid stations in 2023, an action reported to prevent about 480 litres of waste, and post race snacks favour local producers. Registration is open across multiple pricing periods and places are limited per distance. A specific accompaniment registration is required for adults who wish to accompany children on the 1 km, 1.5 km or 2 km courses; a fee is indicated for that option.
Refunds of registration fees are possible up to 30 days before the event. Transfers of registration or changes of distance are allowed up to 15 days before the event. Partners named for the event include Desjardins Caisse de Limoilou, Café Oui Oui and SDC Limoilou. A fundraising entry lists Motivaction Jeunesse with CA$184.19 raised toward a CA$3,000 goal.
